Publisher's Description

▼▲

With clear writing and a contemporary approach, emphasizing how each doctrine should be understood and applied by present-day Christians, Making Sense of the Future explores the fulfillment of Scripturethe bodily return of Christ.Topics include but are not limited to the primary views of the Millennium (thousand years): Amillennialismthe reign of Christ is now being fulfilled; PostamillennialismChrist will return after the millennium; PremillennialismChrist will come back after the millennium.Whichever view the reader subscribes to, the end result is clear: there will be a sudden, personal, visible, bodily return of Christ.Written in a friendly tone, appealing to the emotions and the spirit as well as the intellect, Making Sense of the Church helps readers overcome wrong ideas, make better decisions on new questions, and grow as Christians.

Author Bio

▼▲

Wayne Grudem is research professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix Seminary in Phoenix, Arizona. He holds degrees from Harvard (AB), Westminster Theological Seminary (MDiv, DD), and Cambridge (PhD). He is the author of more than a dozen books including the bestselling Systematic Theology.

Wayne Grudem takes a historically premil position but charitably describes alternative views and their strengths through scripture. This book is short but deep and will help one comes to grip with the future return of the Lord Jesus.

Easy to read. Wayne Grudem offers great insight to the questions concerning eschatology and today's often disconcerting naivety on the subject. I appreciate the fact that Grudem let's on at the outset where his stance is on the subject but gives great credence to the other theological discourses as well. Very enlightening for me and I will be using this book to teach my congregation the a priori of eschatological understanding.
